In Hawaii, you don't have a ton of alternatives. I bet there are not tonsof used Wave listings on Craigslist. Give him the 3k and get on the water.

There's exactly one in the whole state.

It'll cost me close to $4K as I'll have to get it shipped from Kona to Maui. That means trailing it 20 miles up the coast to the West Hawaii freight terminal where it gets loaded on a barge, swap barges in Honolulu, dropped off in Kahului, and trailed 25 miles to West Maui. The shipping will be close to $1K.

That sucks, but if you want a Wave, you probably don't have any alternatives. Unless of course you man up and sail it over there. Its what, a couple hundred miles across shark infested waters?? Better pack a lunch!
